What is Induction Tempering?

Induction Tempering is a electromagnetic heating process which locally 'tempers' an already hardened component in a specified location to bring the local area to the desired hardness.

The Induction Tempering process

Induction Tempering is a controlled process which induces localised electromagnetic heating to a set temperature which tempers only a specified area of a component to a required hardness.

Crucial parameters such as power, temperature, heat time and heat location are precisely computer controlled to ensure excellent
reproduce-ability and that tempering is only achieved where specified.

Typically Induction Tempering is used subsequently with Induction Hardening to reduce the surface hardness of the component to a specific value after the hardening process to reduce brittleness and increase toughness and ductility.

Induction Heat Treatments offer a comprehensive range of specialist induction solutions for your components.

Localised Component Tempering

Computer controlled operations using CNC and robotic controls ensure the precise target area only is tempered to the desired hardness requirements.

Improved Ductility

Induction tempering reduces hardness and increases ductility in the target area of the component.

Reduced Brittleness

Induction tempering reduces hardness and reduces brittleness in the target area of the component.

Results throughout all industries.

Induction tempering is a heat treating process normally performed after the induction hardening process has completed. It is performed at a lower temperature than the induction hardening process in order to reach a desired hardness range or to add toughness to the part by increasing ductility. Induction tempering of steel typically is done with low-frequencies to produce results in seconds similar to furnace tempering applications that typically take hours.

Speed of Process

Induction tempering uses shorter heating times, usually only seconds and higher temperature to produce results equivalent to furnace tempering treatments that often require hours

Increasing Ductility

Ductility improves the overall safety of the structure after exceeding the permissible load values

Small Batch Quantities

Furnace tempering typically take hours. And, as induction tempering is perfect for inline integration. Induction tempering facilitates quality control of individual workpieces. Integrated induction temper stations also save valuable floor space.
